work. You can use the "sharepoint" option or if that does not find the
correct drive ID type it in manually with the "driveid" option.
To back up any user's data using this flow, grant your Azure AD
application the necessary Microsoft Graph *Application permissions*
(such as `Files.Read.All`, `Sites.Read.All` and/or `Sites.Selected`).
With these permissions, rclone can access drives across the tenant,
but it needs to know *which user or drive* you want. Supply a specific
`drive_id` corresponding to that user's OneDrive, or a SharePoint site
ID for SharePoint libraries. You can obtain a user's drive ID using
Microsoft Graph (e.g. `/users/{userUPN}/drive`) and then configure it
in rclone. Once the correct drive ID is provided, rclone will back up
that user's data using the app-only token without requiring their
credentials.
**NOTE** Assigning permissions directly to the application means that
anyone with the *Client ID* and *Client Secret* can access your
OneDrive files. Take care to safeguard these credentials.
